Actor and television presenter Christopher Biggins was announced as host of The Halloween Horror Show, at the launch party for the event at the Brighton Hilton Metropole last week.
The Ball, which will take place on Saturday, November 1, will be raising funds for The Sussex Beacon – a charity offering specialist care and support to men, women and families affected by HIV.
Christopher Biggins, is not a novice at making spooky appearances. His film roles include The Rocky Horror Picture Show in 1975 and he also appeared as a guest star narrator in The Rocky Horror Show on tour in 2010.
Biggins said: “I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting this event and remember it is just a jump to the left… and then a step to the right. It will be a night out to remember for a very, very long time”.
The Halloween Horror Show, which will also be taking place at the Brighton Hilton Metropole, will include a sumptuous Halloween feast followed by a spectacular live floor show with a live band and dancing until the early hours. Guests will be encouraged to dress up in glamorous Halloween style. There will be Halloween themed games as well as auctions and a raffle offering exclusive and ‘money can’t buy’ prizes.
The charity is working with leading entertainment agency the E3 Group to produce the fundraising Ball. The E3 Group were involved with the production of Brighton Pride in 2013. Together, The Sussex Beacon and E3 hope to create a Spooktacular event that guests can enjoy year on year.
The launch event for the Ball was attended by the Lord Lieutenant of Sussex and the Mayor of Brighton and Hove, Councillor Denise Cobb, as well as representatives from many local businesses from the city. Guests enjoyed a sneak preview of the Ball’s entertainment, plus drinks and canapés sponsored by the Brighton Hilton Metropole.
Simon Dowe, CEO at The Sussex Beacon, said: “At The Sussex Beacon we work together to support the whole person by addressing the physical, psychological and social impact of HIV. Every year, we have to raise 1.2 million pounds to keep our services running. This year, ‘The Halloween Horror Show’ will help us to achieve our fundraising target”.
